Indianapolis Colts OG Ben Ijalana (knee) has been cleared by his personal surgeon to compete in training camp, and a team physician is expected to do the same. With training camp right around the corner, Ijalana is ready to resume his career which has been derailed by two major injuries.

The Indianapolis Colts waived DL Ben Ijalana (knee) Wednesday, Aug. 1. If unclaimed, Ijalana can be placed on the season-ending Injured Reserve list. The team signed free-agent OT Ty Nsekhe to take his roster spot.

Indianapolis Colts OG Ben Ijalana (knee) figures to compete for a spot at guard or right tackle during training camp and the preseason. He fully expects to be cleared during physicals Tuesday, July 28. Ijalana tore his anterior cruciate ligament in the left knee Oct. 3 in a game last season.

Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts OT Ben Ijalana (knee) might be done for the season after suffering damage to the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in Week 4, according to a source with knowledge of the injury.

Indianapolis Colts OL Ben Ijalana, the team's second-round pick in the NFL Draft, might be an option at right tackle or one of the guard sports. "He can play both positions, so there is added value," vice chairman Bill Polian said Friday, April 29.
